An invitation to meet Mr. Mitchell at Washiugton on Friday was peromptorey deollnea, and it was unanimously agreed that in the judgment of the operators it was been, for the present, to go on with 111e hearing before tho commiselont Teo statement given out by the operators says among other things: "In the midst of the conference ene request came from Wattaington to the operators of both classes to meet Mr. Mitchell and hie associ- ates next Friday anorning at 10 8111111E11S 00CTORS. Nscuss Prevention of Con- tagious Diseases. APPROVE HYGIENIC METHODS. Toronto report: A long discus- eiou on tho best methods of prevent- ing the dissemination of diaereses by the ageucy or barber shops, enliven - ca the closing beers of the Provincial Board of Health yesterday afternoon. Dr. Cassely read a report to the conmattee on infections; ditseases, which dealt entirely with the Lon - *serial aspict of the cese. Darbees, met the report, should keep serapu- lowly neat and clean, and be care- ful to mninta.in a iteulthrui condi- tion of the mouth and, hands. No bar- ber kafering from any skin, scalp, or contagious disease should be al- lowed to prat:aim ble trade. Nor Mould a barber go near any per - irons suffering with or recovering from any contagiotes disease, or live In the .srune 'muse with them. Per- sons suffering AvIth, Or recoverine, frouv such diseases should not be al- lowed to prOeure tonsorial atten- tion reeve in their own homes. All testi tenents and brushes, etc., should be kept clean and disinfected. Bar- ber Mope should bo floored with lierdwood or covered with some im- permeable material ana kept well 'washed, bet never swept, as it raises dust., The report especially mon-Mended that each patron of a barber shop be encouraged to keep a private lay- ,oeft of tools, while this shoule be Invade compulsory in the erase of ler- ons suffering from skin or scalp af- fections. Moreover, the raeor, etc., elscel in trimming corpses should in no case be applied to living COUn- tenanees., Tile report further recommenclea that barbers always wash their hands with antiseptic soap before calling "Next." Alm, in case the rezor takes away some flesh, art well as underbrush, • the bleeding should be stopped with a lump of alum, which should then bo thrown away; styptics should never be kept, and used on all comers. &nether "barberous" practice eon - downed by the refoort was that of introducing a "possibly contamin- ated" finger into a pot of tramline, and then applying it to a scalp. A spatula should be used instead of the digit for extracting such un- gunients from cover. A long and animated discussion followed, the tonsorial artists pre- • sent being especially eloquent in their approval of the ideas express- ed la the report. Tho subject will tee introduced n.t next meeting of the Toronto Barbers' Association, with the idea of initiating definite Action along the lines indicated. To Fight Consumption. Ur. Redright reported, as it dele- gate at tite recent American Tuber- eulosie Conference at New York, a permanent organization for fight- ing the white plague has been form- ed ander the caption of the Ameri- can Association, and a world's con- ference will bo held at at.

TO ADOPT t.AEOR PLAN. Philadelphia Employers Organize Mr Mutual Defence. Philadelphia, Dec. 2.—The Build- ers' Exchange, composed of master builders of this oily, have adopted a plan to force strikers on their op- erations to come to terms. Their agreement provides for sympathetio lookouto in cases where disputes with einployer cannot be settled by tire firm involved. The feeling here is that the effect of the anthracite coal commission inquiry is to make union labor more powerful and to require equal solidarity pif employers to Cope with it. An advlsory troard of flee 'will be appolaited by the President of the Exehange. To this board is to be re- ferred any aispute that the employe er cannot settle with las workmen, If the board cannot settle it and it strikeis ordered by the men on that work this advisory board is to have power to order a general lockout on all operattons being carried out by members of the association.
